News and schedules
Students must take a test that includes small variations from the one developed in the last academic year. Of these, the most significant is that Riojan students will be able to choose between History of Spain and History of Philosophy in the compulsory phase and take the optional exam in the other. Two subjects that make up, together with Spanish Language and Literature, Foreign Language (English), and the specific mandatory subject selected for the test (it varies depending on the modality chosen for the test), the four subjects that this mandatory phase will deal with. .

310 students take the exam in Calahorra
María Ángeles Martínez Calvo, vice-rector for students and university extension, recalled today in Calahorra, just before starting the EBAU, that of the 1,540 students who take the exam in La Rioja, 310 do so at the IES Marco Fabio Quintiliano sports center and in the Europe pavilion. The start of the tests took place completely normally and with the inevitable nerves of the students. The majority consider that they arrive at this phase with good preparation and the most feared thing is the time they have to complete the answers, especially in language.
Today they begin with language and the subjects of the general phase are examined. They will continue with English and this year, as a novelty, they can choose between the history of Spain and the history of philosophy, this afternoon. In this case, he comments that, at the level of all of La Rioja, there has been a balance in the choice (more than 700 in each one) and that 51 kids have chosen both because depending on the grade they want to take, they may score both in the weighting parameters of each university and that is why they choose to take both exams.
Tomorrow there will be the modality subjects and then the voluntary phase in the remainder of Tuesday and Wednesday the 5th.
Regarding the future of the EBAU, he speaks of uncertainty in all aspects. “We are awaiting a royal decree and we do not know what the next course or the subsequent ones will be like,” he says.
In general, he cites that compared to last year the number of students taking the EBAU has increased by more than a hundred.
